FREE Audio Book "White Fragility"

"The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged and how these reactions maintain racial inequality." White Fragility is a "vital, necessary, and beautiful book," Michael Eric Dyson. Anti-racist educator Robin DiAngelo shines a light on white fragility and "allows us to understand racism as a practice not exclusive to "bad people." Referring to the, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt and by behaviors including argumentation, silence, and other defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially.

Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical. Noah’s virtuoso embodiment of all the characters from his childhood, and his ability to perform accents and dialects effortlessly in English, Xhosa, and Zulu, garnered the Audie Award for Best Male Narrator in 2018. Nevertheless, Noah’s devoted and uncompromising mother—as voiced by her son—steals the show.

Selected Writings and Speeches of Marcus Garvey

One of the most important and controversial figures in the history of race relations in America and the world at large, Marcus Garvey was the first great black orator of the 20th century. The Jamaican-born African American rights advocated dismayed his enemies as much as he dazzled his admirers. Of him, Martin Luther King, Jr., said, “He was the first man, on a mass scale and level, to give millions of Negroes a sense of dignity and destiny, and make the Negro feel that he was somebody.” A printer and newspaper editor in his youth, Garvey furthered his education in England and eventually traveled to the United States, where he impressed thousands with his speeches and millions more through his newspaper articles. His message of black pride resonated in all his efforts. This anthology contains some of his most noted writings, among them “The Negro’s Greatest Enemy”, "Declaration of the Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World", and "Africa for the Africans", as well ...

RACE WAR? Is Dennis Prager Racist?

In the wake of the many unlawful and down right suspicious deaths of black men in police custody, are we witnessing the beginnings of a race war or finally racial unity? Historically speaking, we have been in a race war for the last 2000 years! Black people have simply forgotten that it was the roman catholic church who gave the orders to enslave Africans. Christianity is an off shoot of the catholic church, yet millions of black people still subscribe to the weapon of Christianity. However, many black people are now waking up to the realization that we've been lied to, mislead, mistreated, and murdered for far too long! You don't want to give us reparations? We are taking them! Whether you like it or not! You want to murder us in the middle of the streets? We'll turn rap lyrics into reality at your address! Now that many white people are disgusted with the injustice that black people face, Many people are singing a different tone than in the ye...

Most Dangerous Superstition

The vast majority of theft, extortion, intimidation, harassment, assault, and even murder - in other words, the vast majority of man's inhumanity to man - comes not from the greed, hatred and intolerance that lurks in our hearts. Rather, it comes from one pernicious and almost universal assumption, one unquestioned belief, one irrational, self-contradictory superstition: the belief in "authority".

Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America

Some Americans cling desperately to the myth that we are living in a post-racial society, that the election of the first Black president spelled the doom of racism. In fact, racist thought is alive and well in America - more sophisticated and more insidious than ever. And as award-winning historian Ibram X. Kendi argues in Stamped from the Beginning , if we have any hope of grappling with this stark reality, we must first understand how racist ideas were developed, disseminated, and enshrined in American society. In this deeply researched and fast-moving narrative, Kendi chronicles the entire story of anti-Black racist ideas and their staggering power over the course of American history. Stamped from the Beginning uses the life stories of five major American intellectuals - Puritan minister Cotton Mather, Thomas Jefferson, abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, W.E.B. Du Bois, and legendary activist Angela Davis. - to offer a window into the contentious debates between assim...

Why Is FOX SOUL profiting from George Floyd's Murder Video???

Earlier, I posted the video of Floyd's murder to my YouTube channel. Of course I didn't place any ads on the 10 minutes of murder because that would be utterly disgusting. I naively assumed that ALL pro black media outlets would have the same sentiment... I was wrong.! Today I received and email stating that FOX SOUL has copyrighted the video of Floyd's murder and is attempting to put ads on all of the instances of the video that are on you tube. (That's a lot!) Where's the integrity? Wheres the sense of morals? FOX SOUL saw a video spreading on the internet and wanted to be first to copyright it so they can profit from ads. Some videos simply should not be monetized, especially if you were not the one who originally uploaded the video, which was a woman named Darnella who was at the scene of the murder. They aren't giving the proceeds to Floyd's family or anything like that which makes FOX SOUL a parasite to smaller black media outlets like mi...
